Sola got a review by the wonderful team at Free Apps for Me, a professional app review site. You can read the article here: Best Health Apps.

Added a new feature to the app that tracks vitamin D production. If you haven’t downloaded the app, give it a try – first week FREE!

Update 3/2/2021: this has been fixed. Users should be able to restore their purchases now.

Users who purchased version 1.25 are presented with a paywall screen and cannot restore their purchases. I have just released a fix and Apple should be approving it within the next few hours. Once the release is approved, affected users will be able to restore their previous purchase. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Thought I’d share this review from Germany:

Couldn’t recommend the app more. You can see that someone really thought this through with superb execution. Current UV Index, pulled from the Internet, is part of the calculation. Everything else can be adjusted from skin type to base tan, to the sun protection factor of the sunscreen used, and the history of the previous exposures! There is a web page for the app on which the app is explained in detail. This is the best of all the apps I’ve seen, even if it’s only in English.

Original: Kann die App nur weiter Empfehlen. Man sieht, dass sich hier wirklich jemand Gedanken darüber gemacht hat und dieses Super umgesetzt umgesetzt hat. UV Index wird über Internet abgerufen und fließt in die Berechnung der Dauer ein, steht’s aktuell. Es lässt sich alles einstellen von Hauttyp bis Bräune übern Lichtschutzfaktor der verwendeten Sonnencreme, über Historie der genommen Sonnenzeit von den lätzen Tagen alles vorhanden! Es gibt zu der App eine Web-Seite auf der die App Ausführlich erklärt wird. Das ist das Beste was ich bisher von allen Apps die es gibt was ich gesehen habe, auch wenn nur in Englisch.

Sola made top 100 in Health & Fitness category in App Store, as of this post. Hopefully it’ll stay there for a while.

Turns out Sola Sun UV Tracker & Timer was featured in an article on AppPicker: 5 Tanning Apps To Have Before Going To The Beach

Some news I wanted to share – started building an Android version of the Sola Sun UV Calculator and Timer. Meanwhile, if you own an iPhone, make sure to download my app if you want to manage your suntan experience and avoid sunburns.

UPDATE 6/1/2023: Unfortunately, I haven’t had enough time to invest in the Android version. In talks about potentially outsourcing the development for the other platform

Get Sola Sun UV Calculator / Timer for $.99 before the price increases in the upcoming season.

Sola is the app that takes the guesswork out of understanding how much sun exposure you are getting, whether you want to minimize UV intake from sunlight, or optimize sunburn-free tanning time.

To celebrate the US Independence Day, Sola’s in-app purchase to upgrade is now $0. Ends July 5th.

Things are looking good in terms of bug fixes and enhancements, targeting May 1st, 2019, as a release date in App Store. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Things always go to plan, right? Well, there’s been some delay, but hopefully not too long. Stay tuned!
